Am I going crazy?

am i going nuts or am i just pissed off?

there are so many posters who use abbreviations in their posts and so many of us have been out for years.

the borg constantly changes everything from beliefs to organizational tactics, so those like me don't have a clue to what you are referring to.

Thanks for the explanation. Duhhhhhh~! Us old fogies don't have a clue anymore. So happy I've been out for over 14 years,

What the hell is LDC?
Could you newer posters or those still in be more concise by spelling it out for us "use to bees"?
Your posts are very appreciated but please take pity on us
Thank You,

Brooklyn Update – January 10, 2015

email sent to me from a friend in new york city..

brooklyn update january 10, 2015.

we have spent the last few weeks in training at the montgomery facility (near walkill) there are 6 couples that were trained to go on the road as ldc field representatives of the branch.
HappyDad

First if all, what is LDC? You need to remember that many of us have been out for years and when a poster talks in initials so to speak, it confuses us if not pissing us off. So please.......spell this stuff out.
thank you,

It seems like the DC will be nothing more than a circuit assembly with some of the small venues. They're having one at my old assembly hall that I helped build in the 1970's at Coraopolis, PA. I don't remember exactly, but I think it only has about 800 seats.

From 1 to 10, how do you rate the value of the Internet in your awakening?
by Hidden-Window in

as we all know, the internet is a real game-changer in allowing us to know the truth about the watch tower and its history.

i always had doubts and it was the internet that presented me with the ever-growing number of individuals who were going through a similar struggle.. i give the internet a 9 in my awakening.

what about you?.
HappyDad

I was already having serious doubts before I bought my first computer in 1996. Once I started looking at JW's online, it opened up the door that led me to see that I wasn't alone. There are 10's of thousands of us....if not 100's of thousands who's eyes have been opened to the TTATT. I read the books that were recomended and must say that Crisis of Conscience was the real eye opener for me. It took me several more years to break free because I was so mentally brainwashed that "WE HAVE THE TRUTH". Now.....about to turn 68 in another month, and after about 14 years of being free, my life is better than it could have ever been if I would have remained in the falsehood of the WT corporation.

The internet has been a source of information that the "borg" never wanted us to know. I forget where the scripture is that says "to keep on seeking if you have the truth", but JW's don't want to apply that to themselves. They are so blinded and self serving! So I definitely give it a 10.

In my day it was a no no for a male and a female to be together without a chaperone. They are young but growing up every day. Maybe these two will educate themselves about the "nasty". It's a given! Alone together......you will do something "nasty". That's the BS I heard dozens of times over the years. So glad I'm out!
